Earlier this offseason, when Russell Martin signed a one-year deal with the Yankees for a guaranteed base salary of $4 million plus incentives, it didn't seem too different from the Dodgers reported offer of $4.2 million plus incentives.

However, the Dodgers' offer to Martin was not guaranteed, a source has confirmed to True Blue LA.
